Four Seasons Maui

An immaculate, art-filled property fronting Wailea beach, the Four Seasons stands at the pinnacle of the area's resorts, offering a slew of amenities, spacious rooms -- some with outstanding views -- and a top-notch staff. Thoughtful extras, like loaner Kindles by the pool and free refreshments, make guests feel pampered. It's nearly perfect, except for an unexceptional spa facility, a cramped business center, and expensive, though excellent, dining.
